YEAH__Only IF I Were a SEA Cucumber__My Genetics ARE CONFLICTED by this kind of HEAT!!
My thermometre in the shade showed 42 late Yesterday PM__and it WILL be the Same OR Even Hotter Today.
The hottest temp I have ever experienced was one night on a road trip sleeping in my Suburban in Fargo, North Dakota. It was 114 Fahrenheit – about 45 Celsius – with a very strong wind. It was the only time EVER that it was cooler inside the Suburban with all the windows shut, even with the several hours of all the residual heat from the engine, rear axke and exhaust system. I managed to sleep OK naked with no cover and nothing on except my briefs.
What makes This HEAT WAVE Especially BAD is that it will HAVE BEEN here for Virtually a FULL WEEK__starting Last Friday.
So LEO__do Your BeLOVED PLANTS Luv the HEAT and the Extra STRONG Radiation eh ??
Speaking of Radiation reminds of One of the
MANY Crazy Things WE Improvised as Kids in the Late 50's__as there Generally were NO Toys nor ANY of the Goodies These Days for Us back then in Our Neighbourhood__ONLY One TV on the Block and We ALL Rushed in to Watch The LONE RANGER every day.
So What WE Did at this Time of the Year__Right After End of School__WE would Deliberately Sun Burn our BackSide__and THEN We Had a COMPETITION as to Who Could Get the LARGEST INTACT Piece of Dead SKIN PEELED OFF.
NEAT EH !!!!__at least the Radiation Back THEN was NOT as Strong as Nowadays with regard to Skin Cancer.
